MONTHLY STARS
Check the Power Moon Days column to find out when the Moon will be passing through your star sign this month. You should feel particularly 'in tune' on these days and activities will proceed smoothly for you.
And if you know which sign the Moon was in when you were born, note the 2-3 days each month when the Moon will be in that sign. This is your 'lunar return' and the natural energies of this period will resonate with your own personal energy. For example, if you were born with the Moon in Libra, you should experience feelings of harmony, balance and fairness when the transiting Moon is in Libra.
Serious moon watchers might like to purchase a Moon Calendar from the Stella Starwoman Store. These calendars list the exact time of day when the moon moves from one zodiac sign to the next and help you organise your life using moon cycles and lunar planning to achieve optimum emotional and physical balance.

FEBRUARY 2012 |
|
Aries |
24th-27th |
If you feel thwarted this month Aries – blame ruling planet Mars going retrograde. You can’t wait to push forward, but you just might have to cool your heels for a few more weeks, especially on the work front. Use the time productively to fine-tune your plans and deal with any unfinished business. And try and be patient with those who lack your drive and enthusiasm. Getting angry will simply not work. The February full moon on the 8th in fire sign Leo brings a burst of creativity and possibly romance! |
|
Taurus |
1st-2nd & |
You’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about what’s really important to you, with finances, career and health all at the top of the list. With your sensible, practical approach to life, you can rest assured that if you put in the hard work now, you will reap the benefits in coming months. The universe is asking you to go slowly, and if you're single and looking for a mate, to look around and see what's on offer. With Mars in your house of true love until early July, you can afford to take your time. In the meantime, you may think about rekindling a relationship with someone you used to love. If that idea appeals, now is the time to make your move. |
|
Gemini |
2nd-4th & |
The Mars retrograde transit through Virgo will make you aware of the extreme importance of close family and friends. Whether it be family reunions, family feuds, old relationships coming back to life (or back to haunt you), the message is the same. No man (or woman) is an island. The people we love and who love us are the backbone of our existence. Open your heart to love and forgiveness and tell the people in your life how much you care about them. And if you’re one of those lucky Geminis with a loving, caring family and social group – be thankful! |
|
Cancer |
4th-7th |
Well Cancer, 2012 will definitely be a year to remember, but the question is, what will you remember it for? Some of you just don’t know when to stop, pushing yourselves to unrealistic limits and beyond. Ask yourself ‘Who exactly am I trying to impress/outdo/compete with and why?’ Try and take it easy this month and focus on getting all those little jobs out of the way - you know those ones on the 'to-do' list that never get done. And start saying no to things you don't want to do and buy yourself some time to relax on your own or with friends and family. Career prospects will improve from mid-April onwards, so if things seem a little slow in that department, try not to worry. |
| Leo | 7th-9th | With lucky Jupiter passing through your career sector this month and a full moon in Leo early in the month, conditions are right for you to seek promotion, ask for a pay rise, start your own business or expand an existing business. Avoid distractions, stay focused, keep working towards your goals and you're sure to succeed. You'll need extra money as you seem to be spending quite a lot at present, whether this be on your home, returning to study, getting married, having a baby or starting your own business. With Mars retrograde in your house of money and possessions; be sure to get a solid idea of your present and future financial picture before you commit to any loans. |
| Virgo |
9th-11th |
Mars retrograde has now started to wend its way through your personal part of the zodiac Virgo, forcing you to reconsider, re-evaluate and revisit long-range plans and long-term relationships. Being an analytical type, your approach is largely rational, but don’t miss the opportunity to engage your feelings in any decisions you make this month. Accidents and sudden upsets are common when Mars is retrograde, so drive carefully and watch your tongue. And remember the old adage – ‘Least said, soonest mended’. |
|
Libra |
11th-13th |
If you’re feeling a little tense or overwhelmed Libra, start saying ‘No’. That’s right…let people down. Disappoint them. Don’t be so nice. Tell them you’re not available. They’ll get over it soon enough and you’ll end up feeling a lot better and getting a lot more respect. The transit of Saturn through your sign over the past couple of years has forced you to deal with a lot of unfinished business, much of it confronting or even unpleasant. This period is now over and you can start to make firm plans for the future taking a more mature approach. |
|
Scorpio |
13th-15th |
Been seething with rage? Lusting after someone you shouldn’t? Or perhaps you’re tired of feeling powerless? The retrograde Mars transit will have many Scorpios feeling out of sorts this month. Don’t get mad, get even! Work out exactly what is bothering you and do something about it. If you hate your job, find a new one. If you’re fighting with your partner, book a counselling session and if you’ve always wanted to go to Vietnam or Argentina – head down to Flight Centre! And pay particular attention to the company you keep - remember, birds of a feather, flock together. |
|
Sagittarius |
15th-17th |
Action planet Mars is now retrograde, and as Mars is the natural ruler of your fifth house of true love, pregnancy and creativity, there could be delays in one or more of these areas. Relationships may stall, or you could choose to take a step back before making a firmer commitment. Sometimes a retrograde planet makes you change your mind about a project or relationship, so if you're feeling uncertain, buy yourself time to work out what's really going on. The good news on the romantic front is that Venus will move into fellow fire sign Aries around the time of the Leo full moon (8th) and stay there until early March. Venus teaches you the art of sitting back and letting others come to you and will help you use your powers of attraction to bring the right person your way. This is also the perfect time to upgrade your appearance. |
|
Capricorn |
17th-19th |
In early February, water planet Neptune glides smoothly into Pisces and your writing, thinking and communication sector for a fourteen year stint. Neptune blends beautifully with the energy of Capricorn and will work to enlarge your imagination and your ability to transmit and create imagery of great beauty and originality. If you write novels or poetry, compose music, create software, or work in the graphic arts, fashion or design industries, you can expect to feel particularly inspired over the next decade. Meanwhile, lucky planet Jupiter is cruising through your house of true love, a good sign that the universe is getting ready to help you find the love you deserve or inject some fun and romance into an existing relationship. |

Aquarius |
19th-22nd | Happy birthday Aquarius! As February begins, you should still be basking in the glow of the Aquarian new moon in late January. If there's an important person you need to see, a proposal you’d like to make, or a project you want to begin, take action in the first week of February to make the most of that waxing moon energy. One word of warning - Mars is travelling backwards through your house of investments and joint ventures, so the advice is to avoid signing contracts or making long term investment decisions until the end of April. The February full moon falls in your house of marriage and relationship bringing important information to light for good or for bad. Keep the communication channels open and you should be fine! |
|
Pisces |
22nd-24th |
Being one of the most psychic signs in the universe… you can see what’s really going on with your eyes closed… The Mars retrograde transit (which lasts until mid April) will unearth a few issues that really need to be dealt with, particularly on the relationship front. But while you’re an expert at reading energy, you’re not always first in line when it comes to actually doing something about it. Trust your instincts and dump that friend, leave that job or confront that inappropriate behaviour. You won’t regret it! The new moon in Pisces on the 22nd is a particularly lucky time. |
